ProWorkspaceRegister() returning PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS

[pwilliams-3]

Hi All,
I have a rather simple question (in my mind). I have written many
asynchronous Pro/TOOLKIT programs that register a Pro/INTRALINK 3.x
workspace but for some reason it is not working. I am on WF 4.0 M130 and
Pro/I 3.4 M062 and I keep getting PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS for
ProWorkspaceRegister(). The workspace is in c:\temp and is named
"Workspace". Any ideas? Here is some sample code that also fails.

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

ProError pro_error = PRO_TK_NO_ERROR;
ProName pro_wszWsName;

_putenv(
"PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE=C:\PTC\proeWildfire4.0\i486_nt\obj\pro_comm_msg.exe"
);
_putenv("PDM_LDB_PATH=\"C:\Temp\");

pro_error = ProEngineerStart(
"C:\PTC\proeWildfire4.0\bin\proe3.bat", NULL);

ProStringToWstring(pro_wszWsName, "Workspace");
pro_error = ProWorkspaceRegister(pro_wszWsName);

pro_error = ProEngineerEnd();

return 0;
}

I know I've had that before, can't be sure what the exact solutions is,
but here's my top three. Make sure your pdm_lbd_path is set. Also
the ws name is case sensitive, so make sure it matches.
Seems like once I re-re-ran ptcsetup and made sure to set the
interoperability to use intralink.

Since you didn't specify a "no graphics" option for Pro/Engineer, I
assume that you confirmed Pro/E actually launched .

Did you intend to put two pairs of quotes in this statement?

_putenv("PDM_LDB_PATH=\"C:\Temp\");

Have the quotes embedded in the variable value may confuse Pro/E and/or
Intralink.

I'm actually surprised that you only needed two enviroment variables
to launch Pro/E. I actually set others, though many are probably
obsolete.

Also, I included a config.pro file with the setting "dm_remember_server no
".

It was the double quotes plus the length of the workspace name. In my
production code I had workspace names like <name>_<branch>_<rev>_<ver> and
some of them exceeded 32 characters which is the length of a ProName. The
following code works:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

ProError pro_error = PRO_TK_NO_ERROR;
ProName pro_wszWsName;

_putenv(
"PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE=C:\PTC\proeWildfire4.0\i486_nt\obj\pro_comm_msg.exe"
);
_putenv("PDM_LDB_PATH=C:\TEMP");

pro_error = ProEngineerStart(
"C:\PTC\proeWildfire4.0\bin\proe3.bat", NULL);

//pro_error = ProNativestringToWstring(pro_wszWsName,
_countof(pro_wszWsName), "Workspace", PRO_VALUE_UNUSED);
ProStringToWstring(pro_wszWsName, "Workspace");

pro_error = ProWorkspaceRegister(pro_wszWsName);

pro_error = ProEngineerEnd();

return 0;
}
